Best Varieties of Bees.

At the recent meeting of the Michigan
State Beekeepers' Association the ques-
tion as to best varieties of bees was dis
cussed. D. D. Wood, who had given
the Syrians trial, found them hard to
handle and finally discarded them in
favor of the Italians. w. u. Hutchinson
had experimental with the Cariolans,
which he found gentle enough, but not
superior to the black bees, which are his
preference.
A. J. Roots remarks were listened to
with interest, inasnuch as having had
large experience it naturally follows he
ought to know Just what he was talking
about. In regard to the Cariolans, he
said that his colony of this variety was
strongest in the spring and began rearing
brood first, but it stored 10 surplus.
Many of his patrons would have hybrids
only, and he questioned if it was profit
able for honey producers to breed for
any pure face.
Mr.. Taylor agreed with the above re-
marks and said he felt certain that the
time was at hand when apiarists must
feed bees for business, regardless of color
or markings. He had found Italians
very cross at time of hiving.
Professor Cook said that no one variety
of bees possesses all the good qualities,
but that we must cross the best sorts and
thus eliminate the undesirable character
istics and promote the good ones.-Nep

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

Football by electric light is the latest
thing in Canada. 1t is very popular.
Our country is bigger than China. We
have 8, ,002, 900 square miles, and China
has only 9,0C0, 900.
A Pennsylvania has figured it up and
says that $4,000 divorces are granted in
this country annually.
The Roman cooks used to serve pig
broiled on one side and roasted on the
other, at great ban uets.
Chatsworth, ILL.,, is proud of one Of its
citizens, who at the age of ninety is cut
ting her third set of teeth.
In Germany women 60 from house to
house dusting furniture and tending to
drawing room flowers and plants. 1t is a
regular business.
The eb-formations which appears on
grass, shrubs, ETC., after dew falls are the
spinnings of the spider. They are there
before the deposit of the dew, but are
not observed.
Of the colonies now forming the Uni
ted States, the English nation settled
seventeen, the Americans six, the Dutch
one, the Swedes one, the French ten and
the Spanish three.
The largest bell in England il known
as Big Ben. 1t hangs in the clock tower
of the new House of Parliament in Lon
don. The weight of this bell is more
than thirteen tons, and is height its seven
feet 10 IA inches, and it's diameter at the
mouth 8 1-2 feet.
An English wig maker has invented
an electric hat, which he claims is per-
feet cure for ner Gus headaches and
neuralgia. The appar tus consists of a
small battery placed inside the lining of
an ordinary silk hat, with the flat termi-
mails outside the lin ng so that when the
hat is put on current of electricity
passes between the terminals aud diffuses
itself all over the wearer's head.
'Grape cure" is practiced in France
and Germany in the autumn, and is re-
garded as cure for many diseases due
to high feeding. The patient is given a
pound of grapes to cat the first day. This
amount is added to until the person can
eat five or six pounds day. The other
food is gradually lessened, and the diet
at last consists entirely of grapes. It
cures obesity and many other complaints,
and starts the person of on new lease
of life. Fruit is necessary in rational
diet, and of immense valne in dietetic
medicine.
Canton, China produces more than
nine-tenths of all the 6re-crackers used
tn the world, The principal manu-
facturers contract with the Chinese
Government for the services of convicts,
paying at the rate Of three cents day
for each convi;t. All the work is done
inside the prisons. The paper employed
in the manufacture of fire. crackers is
made of bamboo film, and is without
doubt the strongest raper made. Each
cracker is filed, rolled and pasted by
hand. The powder is quite as powerful
as our best blasting powder. The
quantity of fire crackers consumed
throughout the world is something amaz-
ing. During 1884 upwards of half a
million toxes were entered in the United
States. Each box contained forty pack
ages, making in all 20, 900, 900 packages.
Our Government charges duty equal
to the cost of the goods in China.

How Valentines Are Made.

A factory in this city has, during the
past ten months. turned out $4,000, 900
comic and 100000 sentimental valen-
tines. The many operations through
which toy books and valentines pass be-
fore they are ready to be delivered to the
retailer are interesting. The first floor
of the factory is occupied by paper cut
ting and embossing machines. The pa
per on which valentines are printed is
received from the manufacturer direct,
and is not in condition for use. 1t must
be cut in pieces. AZ 12 feet, and on which
ave stamped sixteen comic valentines.
After being cut the paper is taken to the
second floor and printed. Three hum
dred out If the four hundred employees
in the factory are women and girls.
While the majority of the work is done
by skilled labor, some departments are
operated wholly by mac h:nery.
Cn the sixth or top floor half dozen
artists draw the pictures used in valen-
tines and toy books. After drawing
is made and photographed the negative
is coated with solution and exposed to
the sun. The negative is again coated,
this time with photographic ink, and
placed in basin of water barely deep
enough to cover it. The ink is washed
off, except that part of the plate on which
the drawing has been photographed. The
negative is then ready for the ctcher.
The etching process is.too well known to
bear repeating here. After the drawing
has been etched on zinc plate it is ready
for the press The operation by which
rough zinc is made smooth is interesting.
The zinc is placed under movable emery
papers. which are changed half hourly.
These papers vary from hard to soft The
constant friction of the emery wears away
the zinc, 80 that in time it becomes az
smooth as glass. Seven papers, differing
in quality and thickness, are used in the
operation. Br0oELyn Eagle.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Feeding Value Of Oats.

Osts contain larger prorortlon of
husk than any other grain; the kernel
yields only G6 per cent. of meal, the
husk forming 81 per cent. of the grain.
But the kernel itself contains some branny
matter. and the meal has at least II per
cent of this substance, which, however,
is largely digestible and contains larger
proportion of phosphoric acid in the form
of various phosphates. For feeding cat
tie oats are very valuable, but alone do
not give as good results as when mixed.
This is due to the fact that larger
amount of the nutritive elements of the
oats is digested when fed with other
food Oats contain 81 1-2 per cent. Of
organic matter and 3 IL per. cent of ash !;
the orgsnic matter contains II per cent.
of albuminous or fesh-forming matters,
1-2 per cent. of fatty matter, So per
cent. of starch, sugar and gum, and
% 1-2 per cent. of woody fiber. This
grain has been found most useful when
ground with corn in the proportion of 8
bushels, or 100 pounds, with bushels,
or 800 pounds, of corn.-Ne'o Tork

Breaking Balky Hoses.

A correspondent of the Allentown
tPcnl.) Neeos, D. N. Kern, of SINNERS
v lie, writes: Some time ago, while
driving through Lehigh county, met a
man who had very balky horse. | have
been so lucky that l have never had a
balky horse but if had one l would
know half dozen ways how to star
him.
First-Pat the horse on the neck, ex-
amino him carefully. first one SIDE, then
the other; if y,u can get a handful of
grass give it to him, and 'spe k encour-
agingly to him. Then jump into the
wagon and give the word SO, and he
will genera y obey.
Second-Taking the horse out of the
shafts and turning him around IN cir
Gle until he is giddy will generally start
start him.
Third-Another way to cure balky
horse is, place your hand over his nose
and shut off his wind until he wants
to 60.
Fourth-Then, again, take couple of
turns of stoattwine around the fore legs
just below the knee, tight enough for
the horse to feel it; tie in bow knot; at
the first click he will probably 60 dancing
off. After going short di tance you
can get out aud remove the string, to
prevent injury to the tendons.
Fifth-Again, you can try the fol-
lowing: Take the tail of the horse be-
tween the hind legs, and tie it by c rd
to the saddle -girth.
Sixth-The last remedy I know is a.
follows: Tie q st ing around the horses
ear, close to the head; this will divert
his attention and start him.

other end was solid. I climed over it
and passed around it, and had just dis
covered hollow which had been the
base of big limb, when I got blow on
the neck which rolled me over and over
for ten feet. Before l could get up
Lane was upon me. He was good deal
the larger and stouter man, but he could
not hold me still. 1 could roll under
him, and, while his object seemed to be
to clutch my throat, Igave him two good
blows in the face and got to my feet.
Not word was spoken by either OF US.
We stood for moment gasping for
breath, and then he rushed at me like IN
enraged bull, and we both clinched. He
handled me almost as if l had been a
boy. and it wasn't over q minute before
we were on the bank above water twelve
feet deep. There was thin skim OF ice
over it, and the man who went in there
could not live long.
In a boxing match mat ch I could have
got the better of Lane. In such clinch
his brute strength was a terrible advan-
tage His object was, of course, to
pitch me into the river, but hung to
him so we'll that he was bafed. We
were still struggling on the brink, when
a great slice of the bank gave way and
we went into the ice cold water, both
having firm hold, but on top. Lane
must have had his mouth open, for he
began to stranglc at once, and if ever
worked ha"d for three minutes it was to
save him. He was unconscious when l
got him to the bank and pulled him up,
while I was as good as frozen. BY a
liberal use of my voice aroused three
or four men, and we got Lane to hotel,
and worked over him for half an hour
before lie opened his eyes. Then !
tucked him up, gave him big drink of
hot wh;skey, and went out and got the
money. He had spent about $40 of it.
Not word did he reply as I told him
who I was, who he was, and showed
him the money. Not a word did ne
utter all the way back to Milwaukee, and
it was only after Mrs. Pierce had re-
fused to prosecute him and he was
turned loose that he sullenly muttered:
IL was just fool enough to argue that
no detective living could overhaul me-"
